is active; during normal operation, the Paging Mic will always
take priority over MIC 1 or MIC 2 whatever the setting of J8.
Note also that because this facility is set on a per-zone basis
(by moving J8 on each zone sub-board), it would normally be
desirable to move J8 to the same setting on every sub-board.
Line 6 priority
It may sometimes be necessary for one music input to have
priority over all the others; for example, a jukebox in a bar,
or a digital sound store programmed to make automatic
announcements in a public space. Line input 6 may be set
to have priority in any or all zones over whichever source is
selected for the zone by its Music Source control. This priority
is set by moving jumper J2 to the ‘ON’ position on as many
zone sub-boards as required. (The default setting is ‘OFF’.)
When the priority is selected, a signal present at Line 6 will
force the zone’s source selection to that input; when the signal
disappears, the previously-selected source will be restored
over the time constant selected by J3.
Microphone priority over input at
Facility Port
If an LM-2 remote input module is in use in a zone, it is
possible to give any microphone connected at the mixer itself
(at MIC 1, MIC 2 or PAGING MIC
) priority over input sources
connected at the module. This might be desirable in function
rooms, for example, where building-wide announcements may
need to interrupt any local use.
This priority is set by J4 on the zone sub-board. The default
setting is ‘OFF’; in this position microphones or other sources
connected at remote input modules will be autonomous
and will not be overridden by announcements made via the
mixer’s mic inputs. Setting J4 to ‘ON’ will give Mic 1, Mic 2 and
the paging mic inputs priority.
Note that this priority is independent of the local MIC
PRIORITY function which can be selected on the remote
module.
